About us

Who we are.

The Body Alignment Center is a small treatment centre in Patnem and Palolem, South Goa. Prem and Savannah run it together with a team of six therapists, and see a limited number of people each week.

The work is hands-on body alignment and yoga therapy for pain that has not shifted on its own. Press play to meet us and see the place. Before booking anything, we offer a complimentary online consultation to see if this treatment is a good fit for you.

Prem · Founder

A Bit About PremPrem’s journey of yoga began at the age of 39 after he developed serious health issues due to his previous line of work, which required him to sit for 16-18 hours daily. The left side of his body became partially paralysed. While he was undergoing his medicinal therapy, he met Swami Vijayanand Ji who removed his dependency on allopathic drugs and completely recovered him through Yoga Therapy and Body Alignment. He then taught Prem and told him to go and help others now. Prem is also now a qualified Yoga Therapist, which he uses to complement the techniques shared with him by Swami Vijayanand. He then moved from the plains of Punjab up to the mountains, opening the Brahma Yoga Center in 2017.

Prem has helped many people heal severe physical injuries through body alignment and in 2022 he and Savannah opened the Body Alignment Center in Goa. Currently, Prem gives treatments, talks and teaches Body Alignment, Yogic and Vedanta Philosophy, Pranayama, Meditation.

The place

A new centre in South Goa.

Thatched rooms either side of a lawn, and an open-sided common room in the middle where everyone eats. The season runs from December to April.

You live on site for your programme: five, ten or twenty days. Each day has an alignment session with Prem, yoga therapy chosen for your problem, and breathing and meditation. The rest of the day is yours.

Programmes start on a Monday, so we ask people to arrive on the Saturday or Sunday.

How we work

What we believe, plainly.

Hands on, fully clothed

Prem works on the structure of the body: bones, joints, muscles and the nerves between them.

Enhanced, boutique and personal

Your treatment plan is built around you, from your first assessment to your last session.

The work has to hold

Yoga therapy and exercises to take home, so the changes stay after you leave.

No guarantees

Nobody here promises a full recovery. You will be told honestly what is likely before you book.

Next

Tell us what hurts.

The team will write back with the dates still open, and whether it's a good idea to book in a consultation first.
